There’s one phenomenon, apart from Rajinikanth, which needs no introduction in Chennai; the sweltering heat. It’s summer, folks! As most of you scamper out of town to beat the heat and the rest do their bit to keep pace, here’s a good way to keep cool: go mint! Yes mint’y green is one of the most “In fashion” colours for Summer 2012! Some other colours trending this summer, especially in handbags and shoes, are neons— bright blues, yellows, burnt oranges, and hot pinks.
Semi-crochet

Semi-crochet dresses are half crochet and half opaque and are very fashionable this summer. This probably has more to do with the lightness of crochet. The two layers and different textures add to the style and different colours add character.


Bouquet prints

Usually means a cluster of flowers (non-abstract) printed on the fabric. This being extended to other cluster non-abstract prints like stars and paisleys are also in fashion.
High waists

Flare pants are back. Pair this style with a great heel. The new flare pant has loops for a skinny belt, so you can step up the look with a flashy thin belt. Those looking for a more casual look, go for long shorts. Try slim fit cargo-style shorts tailored to fit until above the knee and worn high-waist.
Get sporty

Stripes and bold linear prints are here to stay. It was seen as a spring trend but its impact on summer is lasting. Big bold colourful stripes in bright yellows and burnt oranges, blues and hot pinks should make the summer colourful and sporty!!
Pyjama fit

The last thing you want on a hot summer day is clothes that stick to you. Bring on the pyjamas!! A night look is a good idea for those who love the minimal look; and it’s very comfortable indeed! Pair it with large oversize hats for a vintage English twist.
